Sidney Prescott is stepping back into the fight.
Paramount and Spyglass have dropped the first official trailer for Scream 7, marking Neve Campbell’s long-awaited return to the franchise — and this time, the stakes are even more personal.
After years of chaos, reinventions, and franchise drama, Sidney is back leading the story as she confronts a brand-new Ghostface in the quiet town where she’s tried to build a new life. But peace isn’t in Sidney’s cards — and neither is safety. When the killer sets their sights on her daughter, played by Isabel May, Sidney has to tap back into survival mode and revisit the terrors she fought so hard to escape.
The trailer teases a more seasoned, battle-hardened Sidney teaching her daughter how to survive — because in Woodsboro-adjacent life, knowing the rules isn’t optional.
Even with all the behind-the-scenes shakeups — from strike delays to cast exits to creative turnover — Scream 7 brings back familiar faces. Courteney Cox returns as Gale Weathers, and the film pulls deep from franchise legacy, including appearances from David Arquette, Matthew Lillard, Skeet Ulrich, and Scott Foley, despite their characters’ fates in past films. Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy Brown also return from the recent installments.
New cast members include Celeste O’Connor, Mckenna Grace, Joel McHale, Anna Camp, Jimmy Tatro, and Mark Consuelos.
Directed by Kevin Williamson — the creator of the original Scream — this chapter explores Sidney as a mother determined to protect her family while confronting decades of trauma and unfinished business. Fans of the franchise will immediately clock a return to grounded psychological fear mixed with brutal slasher energy, and early teases suggest a Ghostface more vicious than ever.
Scream 7 slashes into theaters on February 27, 2026.
